Well the story says “It pains me to tell you,” so that’s a strong indication they mean Kirk as he was in “Growing Pains.” But you’d think with everyone and his brother having a camera phone, proof would be easy to get. ---

So, if it really is true, and it really was Cameron, what does that imply? That he’s a fundamentalist social conservative, of course, but we already knew that. ---

Actually, considering Cameron’s past, I could believe that he was too naive to realize it WAS a gay bar. He doesn’t strike me as being all that bright. ---

I just wanted to say, Mark, it’s extremely classy of yourself to say such nice things about a person whose views you must find somewhat off-putting, to say the least. ---

> [@Not\_a\_Platypus](#): > > Straight people go into gay bars, too and not everyone is at a bar to pick up someone for sex. I used to take girls to gay bars on twofer nights because the food was good and the price was right. Maybe Kirk was looking for a bargain. Or doing research for more stupid anti-evolution videos. ---

Why would his wife lock him out if it was innocent? ---

Maybe she jumped to conclusions like a lot of other people did. Some people are very jealous or insecure and aren’t capable of giving even their spouse the benefit of the doubt, especially when first confronted with “news” like that. ---

Has Kirk (or his wife) ever been or said anything anti-gay? As I said, he seems to have found some peace in religion, but that doesn’t mean he’s hateful because of it. ---

Meh, he thinks everyone’s going to hell. I don’t really take him seriously. Although Stephen Baldwin makes him look like a freaking genius. ---

> [@Guinastasia](#): > > Cause she doesn’t realize he’s actually that stupid? Or she assumed the worst. They may be idiots, but I don’t think that after 20 years of marriage, and sanctimonious God bothering, that she’s going to believe her husband suddenly turned gay overnight. If, hypothetically, this gossip item is true, then her locking him out would indicate she had pretty good reasons (based on some kind of history), not to believe he had an innocent explanation. Spouses who have been together that long _know_ each other, and even the dumb ones know what’s believable about their SO and what isn’t. ---
